About
KoA
The incredible beauty of Valdez, Alaska beckons you. There are 360 degrees of incredible mountain views in our lovely treed 18-acre campground. Valdez KOA is a veteran family owned 2nd generation KOA franchise. When we hire our employees, we make sure to hire with our campground culture in mind: "cleanliness and friendliness". We want our guests to feel relaxed, comfortable, and to know how much we love having them there. We clean our bathhouses incessantly. We like walking into a clean place, and we know our guests do too. And big things are in the works! We are in process of making huge ongoing improvements! Since we bought the campground from it's founders our parents in 2020, we've upgraded wifi to GB Wifi, well known for fast-enough-to-stream wifi, capable of handling thousands of devices at once. We've improved the campground store, and updated the cabins with new couches, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and all new linens. We've employed a master planner to help us with our vision for the future. We intend to get all RV sites on full hookups, This year (2023) we are renovating the house onsite into a 2 bedroom/2 bath cabin and adding 2 glamping tents. Soon we'll be adding full hookups to RV sites, and a large clubhouse with fireplaces, upper deck pavilion and event space, new guest laundry and food service area are planned. Also, we are planning a HUGE dog area, paw pen sites, giant playground, and a whole adventure camping area in the back woods with treehouse cabins and more accommodations. Alaska is incredible and we want to share it with everyone! The beauty is unforgettable. Come stay with us and experience it!

You get what you pay for
The price of $44 for a non-hookup tent site had us apprehensive at first, but after one night at a not so great site down the road we decided to give it a try and we were overall impressed. The campground WiFi was top notch, the showers were free with your stay and were clean with hot water, there’s laundry on site (takes quarters, $3 for wash, 2 for dry). Overall a very pleasant stay.
Very nice woodsy spot!
Valdez KOA has super friendly staff and they’ve gone above and beyond to make accommodations for our party which includes an rv family and a cabin family. Very pretty spot with some space to walk the dogs and a fantastic bike/walking trail (also very helpful with walking dogs). We’ve seen plenty of bears (black mostly and one grizzly on a hike). You do need a car to get to Valdez or to some of the waterfalls/hiking as the campground is about 8 miles outside of town.

Staff treats you like family.....maybe better!
We were there two days the end of May 2021. We had reservations and arrived after hours. We had an issue connecting properly to the water. I alerted management(Lori) via text. She responded with urgency and quickly solved the issue and compensated us for our trouble. Quite frankly, I was taken aback by how concerned she was with making sure we left feeling great about our stay there. Oh, and the bathrooms and showers are CLEAN! Thanks so much, Lori and KOA staff.
